These half-rack width switchers are part of the VersaTools™ line
of basic distribution amplifiers, switchers, and video
accessories. They can be mounted to a VersaTools 19” 1U rack
shelf (Extron part #60-190-20) or on a standard Universal Extron
rack shelf (Extron part #60-190-01). They can also be mounted
under a desk or podium, using an under-desk mounting kit
(Extron part #70-212-01). The units ship with external, desktop
12VDC power supplies, which accept 100VAC to 240VAC, 50/60
Hz input.
The switchers are compatible with NTSC 3.38 and 4.43, PAL,
and SECAM video, and feature a 150MHz bandwidth at -3dB,
fully loaded. When external sync is applied (to Input 1), video
switching occurs during the vertical interval, providing glitchfree switching when all sources are genlocked.
All models feature front panel controls as well as an RS-232
connector (3-pin captive screw) to permit external remote
control.
The MMX 42 switchers distribute any of four video and/or
audio inputs to either or both outputs. The MMX 62 switchers
distribute any of six video and/or audio inputs to either or both
outputs. Any input can be switched to either or both outputs.
The RCA models route unbalanced stereo audio and the AV and
SVA models route balanced or unbalanced stereo audio. The
audio switching can either be linked with the video (audio
follow) or independent of the video (audio breakaway).
Adjustable audio gain and attenuation (available via RS-232
control) compensates for level differences between audio inputs.

All models
Audio inputs — MMX switchers accept up to four (MMX 42) or
six (MMX 62) stereo audio inputs. AV and SVA models
accept balanced or unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole
captive screw terminals. RCA models accept unbalanced
stereo on RCA terminals.
Audio outputs — MMX switchers output two stereo audio
outputs. AV and SVA models output balanced or
unbalanced stereo on 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw
terminals. RCA models output unbalanced stereo on
RCA terminals.
Audio input gain and attenuation — Users can set the level of
audio gain or attenuation (-18dB to +24dB) for each input
via the RS-232 link. Individual input audio levels can be
adjusted so there are no noticeable volume differences
between sources.
Front panel control — The operator can select the inputs and
outputs, as well as audio follow or breakaway, using the
front panel buttons.
RS-232 control — The operator can control the MMX 42/62
from a remote computer or other host using a link to the
RS-232 port. RS-232 control uses Extron’s Simple
Instruction Set™ (SIS™) or the Windows-based control
software.
Simple Instruction Set — The Simple Instruction Set
program lets a host computer control the MMX with
simple commands.
Windows control software — Extron’s Windows-based
control software provides a graphic way to set up
and control the MMX with an on-screen control
panel. It allows the operator to remotely select
inputs, make audio adjustments, and store settings
for future use.
Mounting options — The MMX 42/62 is 1U high and a halfrack width wide. It can be installed on a VersaTools 1U
rack shelf or a standard Universal rack shelf, or under a
desk or podium using an under-desk mounting kit.
Auto-switching power supply — An external power supply
with an IEC connector, which can be used internationally
with any power input from 110 VAC to 240 VAC at 50 or
60 Hz and adapts automatically to the input type.

When an output is muted (audio and/or video) the input LED
for the muted output will be off (audio and/or video).
3
Input buttons and LEDs — The input buttons (1 through 4 on
the MMX 42 and 1 through 6 on the MMX 62) select an input for
output. The input LEDs indicate the selected input. When the
audio or video is muted, the input LEDs will be off for the
signal that is muted.

Video and/or audio selection — When pressed and released,
the Config button cycles through video and audio, audio only,
and video only selected for configuration.
The Video and Audio LEDs indicate whether video, audio, or
both are selected for display and/or selection. If audio is
broken away and video and audio are selected for display, the
Audio LED blinks.
Front Panel Operations
Plug in all system components and turn on the input devices
(such as DVD players, VCRs, and DSS receivers) and the output
devices. Set the input devices to output video using each
device’s own operating instructions.
Creating ties
A Tie is an input-to-output connection. An input can be tied to
both outputs. (An output can never be tied to more than one
input.)
3-2
MMX 42/62 Series Matrix Switchers • Operation
A tie can also be created by an RS-232 device (see chapter 4,
Remote Control).
If an output is muted via RS-232, pressing any input
button will unmute the output.
Memory
Audio settings are saved in nonvolatile memory. When the
switcher is powered off, the settings are retained. When the
switcher is powered on again, the switcher recalls the
connections made prior to power down and the saved settings
are active. On initial power on, the switcher defaults to input 1
tied to output 1 and input 2 tied to output 2.
Executive Mode
When executive mode is on it locks all front panel functions. To
toggle the executive mode on or off, press and hold the Output
and Config buttons for more than 3 seconds. All LEDs will flash
to indicate that the command has been accepted.
Genlock Sync
When switching between inputs, the resulting image change
should be seamless and clean. The MMX switchers reference
the external sync signal on input #1 to synchronize switching
during the vertical interval. This allows vertical interval
switching between genlocked sources. Without the external
sync locking feature, switching between inputs can result in a
brief rolling (sync loss) or a brief change in the picture size.

ties, where y is the output number, n is the input number, and
All is both video and audio (the power-up default is video and
audio output 1 tied to input 1 and video and audio output 2 tied
to input 2). The switcher also sends the Outy Inn message
whenever the selected input is changed using the front panel
buttons.
Reconfig
The switcher initiates this message when there is a change in the
audio gain setting for any input.
Error responses
When the switcher receives a valid SIS command, it executes the
command and sends a response to the host device. If the
switcher is unable to execute the command because the
command is invalid or it contains invalid parameters, the
switcher returns an error response to the host. The error
response codes are:
Simple Instruction Set Control
Host-to-interface communications
SIS commands consist of one or more characters per field. No
special characters are required to begin or end a command
character sequence. When a command is valid, the switcher
executes the command and sends a response to the host device.
All responses from the switcher to the host end with a carriage
return and a line feed (CR/LF = ), which signals the end of
the response character string. A string is one or more characters.

Windows®-Based Program Control
The Universal Switcher Control Program is compatible with
Windows 3.1/3.11, Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows
ME, and Windows 2000 and provides remote control of the
input selection for each output (including audio breakaway)
and audio gain and attenuation adjustments.
Updates to this program can be downloaded from the Extron
Web site (http://www.extron.com).
Installing the software
The program is contained on a single 3.5” diskette and can be
run from the floppy drive, or it can be installed and run from
the hard drive. To install the software on the hard drive, run
setup.exe from the floppy disk and follow the screen
instructions.
By default, the Windows installation creates a C:\UNIVSW
folder and places two icons (Universal Switcher Control
Program and Universal Switcher Help) into a group named
“Extron Electronics”.
Using the software
1.
To run the software, double click on the
Universal Switcher Control Program icon in
the Extron Electronics program group.
2.
In the Comm Port Selection window (figure 4-2), click on
the comm port that is connected to the MMX’s RS-232 port.

3.
The Extron Universal Switcher Control Program window
(figure 4-3) displays the selected inputs for each output
and the audio gain for the selected audio inputs.
Muting the audio signals
To mute one or both of the switcher’s outputs:
1.
Click on the MUTE button for the selected output(s) on the
Universal Switcher Control Program main window (figure
4-3). An associated orange indicator will “light” to
indicate that the audio and/or video output is muted.
2.
To unmute the audio signal, click the MUTE button again
to uncheck the audio mute for the selected output.
The MUTE function is not available from the switcher’s front
panel and can only be achieved through RS-232 control. When
muted, the LED’s for the muted inputs on the front panel will be
off.
Setting audio levels
The box between the video and audio checkboxes displays the
audio gain (or attenuation) setting for the currently selected
audio input.
To set or changes the levels for audio inputs:
Figure 4-3 — Universal Switcher Control Program
window
1.
From the Universal Switcher Control Program main
window (figure 4-3) click on Configure.
2.
From the drop-down menu, select Audio Inputs to display
the Configure Audio Options window (see figure 4-4).
Input selection
Switching is accomplished from within the Universal Switcher
Control Program by selecting which input to tie to one or both
outputs (see figure 4-3). The top row of inputs is available for
output 1 and the bottom row of inputs is available for output 2.
The same input can be routed to both outputs, but an output can
only be tied to a single input.
To tie an input to an output:
1.
On the Universal Switcher Control Program main window,
click on the numbered input button you want to tie to each
output. Checkboxes control whether the switcher selects
video, audio, or both (system default is both video and
audio) and indicators (green for video and/or blue for
audio) will light to indicate your selection.
2.
To switch the audio signal independently from the video
signal (audio breakaway) click the Video or Audio
checkbox as desired (the default is both boxes on).
Input selection from the switcher’s front panel will cause the
program to “light” the associated indicators in the program to
reflect the change.

Updating the firmware
It is also possible to update the firmware in your MMX Matrix
Switcher from the Universal Switcher Control Program.
Firmware files can be obtained on the Extron Web site
(www.extron.com) or by contacting the Extron S3 Sales &
Technical Support Hotline.
When you receive and save the updated firmware file, be
sure to remember where you save it. You will be asked to
load the file as part of this procedure.
Executive mode
If the switcher is installed in an accessible area, where operation
by unauthorized personnel may be a problem, a security lockout feature called Executive mode can be implemented. When
Executive mode is enabled, the front panel is locked and either
an RS-232 command or front panel command (press and hold
the Output and Config buttons for 3 seconds) is required to
unlock the front panel before it can be operated.
To update the firmware:
1.
From the menu bar at the top of the the Universal Switcher
Control Program main window (figure 4-3) click on File.
2.
From the drop-down menu, select Update Firmware. A
box showing the current firmware version will be
displayed (see figure 4-6).

The firmware update file must have an .s19 extension. If
it doesn’t have that extension it will not work properly.
The firmware is updated as the file loads. When the
update is complete, a dialog box will open, asking you to
exit the utility program if the new firmware version is
correct or to run the utility again if it didn’t load correctly.
Click Okay to complete the process (the LEDs on your
MMX switcher will cycle through the power on sequence).
Your switcher is ready to use.
